Hello everyone!  My name is Kai.  I am the little big man.  I am single, handsome, with a dark complexion.  My name means “ocean dweller”, which I hope to become some day.  I enjoy eating and napping and, on occasion, a stroll to catch some fresh air.  I am fairly new to the area.  One might say I am trying to get back on my feet again... for the first time.

The first major business to report relates to my indoor swimming pool.  I spent the past nine months in this pool.  The food and atmosphere were excellent.  I wished to never leave.  Then, last Wednesday, January 3^rd at around 11 AM, a leak sprung in the swimming pool floor.  Well of course, I panicked.  I swam to the bottom to take a look.  Things were worse than I thought.  The pool water was gushing down a very narrow tunnel.  I followed, despite the tight fit, for hours upon hours until finally at 7:34 PM, I came to the end.  You will never believe what I found. 

First, I took my first breath of air.  Not bad but a bit over-rated, especially here in Boston..   Then I met my mommy.  She was beautiful and warm.  Her touch really put me at ease after a long day.  Then I met my daddy.  Well he needs a little bit of work.  His hair was a mess, he was unshaven, and his breath was a little garlicky.  I’ll take him though.  Then I met my Auntie Heather.  She has a striking resemblance to my mom.  She cried when she heard my name for the first time. 

Since then life has been pretty good.  At 23”, 8 lbs, 14 ounces, they say I was born quite big for my age.  I figure, go with it, and have been eating like a crazy man since, gaining 2.5 ounces per day.  I admit.  I get a little crazy at times and even snort when I am trying to feed.  My daddy calls me pig man when I do. 

The other thing they say is I was born as a 2 week old.  I have a full head of dark hair and am quite aware of my surroundings.  Since day one I have been able to pick my head up and move it around.  Currently, I have been restricting work outs to a few minutes of Tai Bo each morning.

I have met a lot of my family too.  I met my Mimi, who tells me all these wonderful stories of things we will do together.  I met my GrammE who sings me nice lullabies when I need to relax.  My Grampa can hold me in the palm of his hand.  He is the warmest to sleep on which is nice.  Then I met my cousin Brook who told me to hang in there.  She says everything gets much easier.  And finally my Uncle Jason.  He seems like a fun man with a lot of fun toys.  I still need to meet my Grampy, who is helping people in Louisianna that have swimming pools that are too big, plus a bunch of other amazing friends and family.

So, this has been enjoyable and all but I really do miss my swimming pool.  If anyone is good at fixing leaky pools, let me know.

Love,

Kai
